Group
of Burnham-On-Sea rapping pensioners launch their first CD
A
group of rapping pensioners from Burnham-On-Sea officially launched
their first album at the weekend with the hope of clinching number
one in the seasonal pop charts!
The
Wrinkly Rappers, who auditioned for ITV's Britain's Got Talent
earlier this year, performed at Asda in Highbridge on Saturday
(December 12th) following their CD, called 'Wrinkly Rappers Unrapped',
hitting local shop shelves.
The
album, costing £5, has been made to support The Alzheimer's
Research Trust and £2 from every CD will go to the charity.
 The
group's Highbridge performance saw signed CDs on sale and they
also made an appearance at The Pier Tavern in Burnham-On-Sea on
Saturday night.
The
group's Brenda Brooks, Marian Bowers – both from Burnham
– and Belinda Marks of Bridgwater, got together last year.
Their raps started after listening to two young girls, who made
up a rap about older people, saying they were "not cool and
did not understand youngsters".
They
auditioned for ITV's Britain's Got Talent, but did not
impress Simon Cowell and the other judges enough during the auditions
in Cardiff.
Among
the local shops that are selling the album are Blake Vet Group
in Berrow Road, Animal Fayre in Victoria Street, Hurleys Newsagents
in the High Street, Jag Phone Shop in the High Street, Highbridge
Caravan Centre in Bristol Road, Highbridge, and Moore's Fish &
Chip Shop in Church Street, Highbridge.
Brenda
told Burnham-On-Sea.com: "Proceeds from the album will go
to help support Alzheimer's Research Trust, a really well worthwhile
charity."
